Upgrading RAM On Laptop

[Homervander]

Hi,

I have a laptop which has a Celeron (R) Dual core CPU @ 1.80GHz.

The current RAM is 3.00GB and am looking to upgrade.

So my question is how would I know which memory would be compatible? What am I looking for?

thanks for any help.

Memory for your Toshiba:

If you have three gigs, you most likely have one 2 gig module and one 1 gig module. This laptop can handle up to 4 gig. That would be 2x2 gig modules

When buying a new module- should I buy a pair of the same? Would this make any performance gains? Or would it be fine to leave in a current 2gb one and simply switch the 1gb out to a 2gb module? Thanks

I would honestly just buy a pair since they are cheap.

Indeed, you can change either one board for 1gb or buy two new ones and replace them, I think it will be easier and in which case you will still have spare parts.

If your laptop rental has 8GB of RAM, it probably uses two 4GB strips of RAM in separate slots. Because of the way memory fits into your laptop or computer, it's actually quite easy to remove and expand. One of the most common ways to upgrade your RAM is to replace your 4GB strips with 8GB strips, giving you a total 16GB.
